Georgetown Frame Shoppe "News"

1/2/06 - Happy New Year! We are grateful to report a successful year at the Georgetown Frame Shoppe, and would like to extend our thanks and appreciation for the support of all our valued customers. The recent acquisition of the Odyssey Portfolio by Marc Chagall has brought us great excitement, as we view this rich body of work as a testament to Chagall's undeniable expertise in storytelling through color and composition.

11/06/2005 - A few days ago the Georgetown Frame Shoppe was noted in the The New York Times "Fashion and Style" section, for being one of the best online galleries! To read this great review of online galleries, click here. The Georgetown Frame Shoppe has acquired this fall the entire portfolio of Miro's Constellations, published in 1959. These original full color pochoirs are are some of the Miro's finest prints he ever made.

10/20/2005 - Happy Halloween all! This fall we have a number of great new works of art for sale! Some of our favorites are: Picasso's "Grande Maternite," published by the Mourlot Press in 1963; Francoise Gilot's color lithograph, "Girl with a Crown," executed in 1967; as well as a number of original Andy Warhol screenprints from his 1981 "Myths" portfolio. All are wonderful works of art that we are happy to be able to offer to our clientele at reasonable prices.

09/27/2005 - Fall is here once again and Georgetown Frame Shoppe has some fabulous new art to celebrate the change of season. We have several lovely new original works by Joan Miro.

Georgetown Frame Shoppe has also acquired a number of original Marc Chagall portfolios. "The Fables of Jean de la Fontaine", published in 1952, is among our most valued art books we now have for sale.

10/01/2004 - Happy Halloween!Currently on exhibit is a wonderful selection of original Joan Miro and Alexander Calder lithographs and etchings. Of Miro's work on display, are his famous Ubu Roi lithographs made in 1966, and his Abstract series, executed in 1975. Of Calder's work, we have a number of fantastic Derrier Le Miroir lithographs and lovely selections from his surreal Pyramids series done in 1973. Our Georgetown exhibition was largely inspired by the current show of Joan Miro paintings and Alexander Calder mobiles at the The Phillip's Collection in Washington DC Both are worth a visit! A great new addition to our gallery is a collection of Pablo Picasso vintage posters. They make wonderful collectibles.

07/01/2004 - Great News!We've been having an excellent summer. We recently acquired the entire Lysistrata series by Pablo Picasso. All are in excellent condition. This lovely portfolio illustrates the Greek comedy Lysistrata written by Aristophanes in 411 BC. Also this summer we added to our collection six original Norman Rockwell Serigraphs. Starstruck and Dreamboats are two especially rare and humorously sweet Rockwell's that we have on display at our gallery. All our Norman Rockwell's are signed in pencil and numbered. On exhibition this month is a great collection Original Henri Matisse Lithographs; The Blue Nude series, La Piscine series, and a variety of single lithographs like Zulma and Decoration Masques.

These screenprints have been sold out for many years and are from the edition of 250 signed and numbered in pencil by Andy Warhol. Also, recently arrived an original signed Pablo Picasso Linocut published by Vallauris in 1957. This is quite large and pretty from the small edition of 198. We recently framed Pablo Picasso's only 24 color lithograph which he made in 1961 called Le Picador II published by Sabartes and it looks incredible. It is very affordable at $1800 framed with a hand wrapped silk mat, hand rubbed brown and gold frame with the matching inner fillet frame and conservation UV protection picture glass.
